Steering and Suspension Repair

We all spend a lot of time in our vehicles. Going to work, running errands and taking kids to all their activities will take it's toll on a car. A rough ride or a loose feel in the steering can be bothersome and a safety hazard. Having a vehicle with a smooth ride is the objective.

Listen to your car

As cars get older the suspension can fatigue and become noisy. Noises may just be a sign of age and not require immediate repairs. However if you hear a clunk or squeak over bumps it may be a sign of worn out or damaged suspension parts.

Feel for vibrations in the seat or steering wheel

This is a tolerance situation. Some cars as they age will develop a vibration in the steering wheel or car seat, it is not always a cause for concern. If your suspension is in good working order, you should not feel much if any vibration. If there is excessive vibration while driving, shaking over bumps or play in the steering it is likely related to worn suspension or steering components and could develop into a safety hazard.
